Adam ]. Greer, has been writing "way-
ride Sketches" Tor the Altoona Tribune. II
all his sketches arc like the one relative to the
Miffiintown Press, they are about as relia BILE
as Adams religion and morals were when he
was soiourner IN this place. For correction
he was "haul ed over the coals'' every few
months by the church to which he claim
ed allegiance. His habit was to kick out,
and then squirm in, at intervals.
The man who fails to take a county
newspaper is the kind of a man that falls a
victim to arts of bad men as set forth
in the White Haven journal as follows.
Look out for the ''pony man." who Is on
the rounds selling Shetland ponies from
photographs, for So apiece. The buyer
selects pony from number of photo
graphs, s'ponies up" s. and waits for the
arrival Of the little animals, but they never
turn up. About 80 OF Stroud dsburg's gull
lible citizens are awaiting for their Snet-
lands.
